Wow, just look at these chonky boys! Tinder fungus #mushrooms in The Hague Forest. #fungifriends

I was so excited to find this jumbo boy in The Hague Forest!! (I forgot to bring my euro for scale, so I had to use my finger.) I think this #mushroom might be a type of chicken-of-the-woods? #fungifriends

I'm visiting the Netherlands and scheduled a few hours to explore The Hague Forest. I was really excited to find some new #mushrooms to photograph. And what's the first one I find? Turkey tail. 8 hours on a plane, an hour on a train, just to find what I see every day back home 😂 #fungifriends

Found these guys in The Hague Forest and they have got the funniest name! From my ID app: "This #mushroom is not very tasty or cake-like. It became known in English as 'King Alfred's Cake' due to its resemblance to the British king's famous failed attempts at learning to bake." #fungifriends

Scrolling through some photos from this past October and I had to share this lovely cluster of inkcap #mushrooms. They just look like a tiny little fairy village, and I love them! #fungifriends

This cracked cap polypore #mushroom is an absolute unit! (penny for scale) #fungifriends

My first time finding these gorgeous cinnabar polypore #mushrooms in the wild! #fungifriends

Out for a walk today and got a picture of some tiny #mushrooms. I thought they looked familiar, and checked through my past photos once I got home. Sure enough, I've seen these exact guys before! Kind of surprised by how little they've changed in two months. #fungifriends

Anyone know what these little guys are? My #mushroom ID app had several suggestions, but none looked quite right. I guess I didn't get clear enough photos #fungifriends

A bit of rain always coaxes these darling bark bonnet #mushrooms out of hiding. But one sunny afternoon is enough to erase all sign of them #fungusfriday #fungifriends

"Why are you like this?" -my dog, probably. Sometimes I wonder if anyone is secretly spying on me/recording me through my devices, and if they appreciate all the songs I make up about my dog more than she does. Today's was opera style, with "stinky baby" lyrics. A real bop imo #petmom #dogs #furbaby

How cool is this ceramic fungus? #mushrooms #fungifriends

Okay but like, how cute is this little guy? I'm pretty sure it's an oak mazegill #mushroom #fungifriends

Spotted in the woods after a fresh snowfall. I'm not sure I would have noticed this little #mushroom fairy house if it hadn't snowed! I hope this makes you smile like it made me smile 😊 #fungifriends

So much going on with these #mushrooms! I loved this perfect little cup of snow, surrounded by a whole neighborhood party of different #fungifriends

The way the sunlight illuminated these jelly ear #mushrooms like nature's stained glass windows 🤩 #fungifriends #mushroommonday

Every time a winter storm rolls in, I have to check on the turkey tail #mushrooms by my house. My little #fungifriends are going strong today and look so cute all sprinkled with snow

It's a #snowday, so here's a flashback from my first time taking pictures of wild #mushrooms - July 2021. I didn't know to get pictures from all angles to help with ID, but I put my best guesses in the alt text. It's fun to see how my current hobby started as random photos on a hike! #fungifriends

Here's a picture of #myvalentine finally capturing a kingfisher on camera. I love going on long walks through the parks, helping each other look for our favorite photography subjects: birds for him, mushrooms for me. I love sharing simple joys together! #relationshipgoals

The perfect Valentine's Day #mushrooms: coral-pink merulius in a sea of false turkey-tail #fungifriends #fungifriday

Such a friendly bunch of winter bonnet #mushrooms ☺️ #fungifriends

Cracked cap polypore cuddle party 🥰 #mushrooms #fungifriends

While the tops of these 🍄 might appear similar at first glance, examining them from a different angle makes it easy to distinguish between the jagged pores of the violet-toothed polypore and the smooth bottom of the false turkey-tail. I love learning how to identify #mushrooms! #fungifriends

These bitter oysterling #mushrooms are gorgeous from every angle 🤩 #mushroommonday #fungifriends

Loving the glow up on these (enoki?) #mushrooms! Pictures taken a day apart, after getting over half an inch of rain in #Pittsburgh yesterday evening. Same camera settings, no filters, and they just looked so much more vibrant today! #naturephotography #fungifriends

Saw a new #mushroom today! My app identified it as deadly gallerina / funeral bell. Which can look really similar to wild enoki. Yikes 😬 This is why I'm happy to stick to #photography and leave the foraging to the experts! #fungifriends

Bark bonnet #mushrooms are literally the cutest 😍 #fungifriends

Mazegill #mushrooms look so cool! #fungifriends

Don't forget to look up every now and again! #mushrooms #fungifriends

Such a pretty cluster of #mushrooms! I think these are bitter oysterling 🍄 #fungifriends

Saw this gorgeous guy basking in the winter sun. Asked if he'd ever considered a career in modeling. (hexagonal-pored polypore) 🍄 #mushroom #fungifriends

Wow, the #sunset in #Pittsburgh today 😍 #nofilter

Just look at this magnificent cracked cap polypore 🤩 So glad the temperatures have come up enough to resume my nature walks #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends

These temps are in Fahrenheit. Guess who's not leaving the house today 😅 Still a #californiagirl at heart and I can't function in this cold. #wfh

Quand j'étais adolescente, je suis tombée amoureuse de Rand et me disais qu'il fallait trouver quelqu'un qui lirait avec moi sur le tapis devant le foyer. Actuellement, c'est l'idée de lire dans un grand fauteuil à coussins qui me semble le plus idyllique et romantique 💖📖 #booksky #WoT #RoueDuTemps

#snowflakes on turkey tail #mushrooms 😍 Definitely worth three full layers of clothes to brave the snowfall in 24°F(-4°C) weather. Had to get in a good walk before the real cold snap arrives and we get down to subzero temperatures this week. #fungifriends #winter #photography

#snow and #mushrooms 🥰 #fungifriends

Icicles in the park #winter #photography

Trying to get some more practice with my macro lens. It's so exciting to capture such tiny detail! Next time I'll be sure to have something better for scale #mushroommonday #fungifriends

Lumpy bracket #mushrooms serving as natural shelves for this log's collection of snowballs - Frick Park, Pittsburgh PA #fungifriends

Spotted these beautiful orange #mushrooms (I think they were enoki, but wasn't sure enough to forage) back on December 26, along a Monongahela River trail in Pittsburgh PA #fungifriends

Some pretty holly berries on my walk today #photography

I got so excited when I spotted this cute little guy holding up his own little snowball. My #mushroom app suggested that it's a mustard yellow polypore, but I'm not sure. In any case, it made me smile 😊 - Frick Park, Pittsburgh PA #fungifriends #fungusfriday

My heart is with my hometown and everyone affected by the LA fires right now. I've been so emotional today, after seeing that my childhood home is in an evacuation zone. I'm thankful all my family there are currently safe. I'm sharing an old photo from one of my last trips visiting LA

I had to run home to grab my macro lens after spotting these snow crystals and #mushrooms while running errands today. I am constantly in awe of all the beauty and detail in the world when you slow down and look closely 🥰 #snowday #fungifriends

How lovely to spot a pop of color in a world blanketed with snow - Frick Park, Pittsburgh PA #mushroom #fungifriends

When I was 14, I read my first Wheel of Time book, which ignited a lifelong love of fantasy. When I was 14, I started learning French, which ignited a lifelong love of languages. It has all finally come full circle as I embark on my journey to read the whole series in French #booksky #langsky

Saw some cute snow-capped oyster mushrooms 🍄 at Frick Park in Pittsburgh #fungifriends

Took advantage of the bright and brisk morning before another winter storm rolls in tonight. It was worth braving the 20°F (-7°C) air to get this gorgeous shot! 🍄 #fungifriends

I love a good cluster of turkey tail 🍄 #fungifriends
